Battle of La Rochelle-sur-Amazone

The Battle of La Rochelle-sur-Amazone occurred in 1583 when an English army of musketeers, hussars, pikemen, and rockets assaulted the French settlement of La Rochelle-sur-Amazone in South America. The English ravaged the French town and massacred the French villagers after repelling the French hussars, and the English proceeded to destroy the town center and other buildings with a storm of rockets. The result of the battle was a decisive English victory, as the French settlement was burnt to the ground and the French forced to flee from the area.
